I can't see where it traded at all before December 2003 either, but I doubt the OTC site was wrong about when MLON was added to the pinks, it was on the daily list back then too.
What I don't understand is if Pino didn't start the company until the fall of 2003 as he says, how did Nasdaq know that the company name for MLON was Mellon Research back in 2002?
A mystery.
However, just because it was added doesn't mean that there was anyone quoting or even bidding or asking on it until late 2003.
